At Wildwood Financial Group, we believe that financial independence begins with education. Our mission is to provide comprehensive, easy-to-understand retirement and estate strategies that empower the Chattanooga community to retire with confidence and clarity. We act as stewards of our clients’ entire financial lives, providing objective advice that aligns with their total needs.
Founded by Ryan Adams—a former high school science teacher and adjunct professor—Wildwood Financial Group operates on an “education-first” philosophy. A client who understands their plan is a client who can navigate the future without fear.
We don’t just manage portfolios. We ensure our clients understand the why behind every recommendation. We maintain the highest standards of financial knowledge, continuously refining our “curriculum” to reflect the latest knowledge in tax and retirement strategy.
We move beyond simple investment management to provide a 360-degree view of your financial health. Our comprehensive planning process integrates:
Maximizing Social Security and managing RMDs.
Disciplined strategies tailored to your specific risk tolerance and goals.
Helping you protect what you’ve earned.
Educating you and improving your financial literacy.

True to our roots, Wildwood Financial Group is a leader in local financial literacy. Ryan Adams frequently facilitates educational workshops at Chattanooga State Community College, translating complex financial concepts into actionable strategies for the public. By hosting these collegiate-level seminars, we provide a neutral, academic environment where Chattanooga residents can learn the “rules of the road” for retirement without the pressure of a sales pitch.
Located in the heart of Chattanooga, we are committed to being your lifelong financial partner. We want to empower our community to achieve financial independence through a comprehensive, education-first approach to wealth management and retirement planning. At Wildwood, your retirement isn’t just a number—it’s a curriculum for the best years of your life.
